Field- 
URING the past five years there has 
been a tremendous increase in the use 
of Southern field-grown tomato plants. 
They have proven to be the most satisfac- 
tory and economical solution of the tomato 
plant problem in the north both for large 
canning factories and home gardeners. 
Field-Grown Tomato Plants 
are grown in the open field where they are 
acclimated to outdoor temperature which 
enables them to be set in the open field. 
They are not frostproof as it is impossible 
Piedmont 
to grow frostproof tomato plants. How- 
ever, they are not like the tender seedlings 
you get from a greenhouse, but are large, 
stalky plants, hardy enough to make a 
quicker start than greenhouse plants. 

Our field-grown tomato plants are grown 
from the best certified seed, which is dis- 
infected before planting on disease free 
land. They are thoroughly sprayed by high 
pressure sprayers from the time they come 
up. This insures you true to name, disease 
free plants. 
Our plants are carefully selected in the 
field as they are pulled one at a time. Each 
plant has a well developed root system. 
Many people think tomato plants are too 
tender a plant to ship long distances suc- 
cessfully. However, the way we wrap them 
with damp moss and paper, and pack them 
in special hampers, we can deliver them in 
good condition anywhere east of the 
Rockies.
